I liked this because the FL wasn't really that likeable and Bae Suzy seems to play the same roles. It was an OK watch but at times just a bit of a formula.
Could only give this 7,5. Bad wig acting at the start, and a plot that often makes no real sense if you have a brain. Lee Jin Wook plays a plank yet again, wooden. I think he can act but he is a terrible picker of scripts, or needs to pay the mortgage.
When you watch this you have to remember when it was written, and its a bit like a soap opera with some OTT characters. I watched twice completely in three months, because the script is clever and the story apart from the set up eps never flags. You get to see actors at nearly at the start of their careers and learn why people hark back to old k drama.
The best thing about this is Kim young Kwang, because he managed to play the charming to manipulative psycho in such a realistic way and didn't go in to caricature. I think the cut back make up and the greying hair adds to the sense that is a real person.
I think Kim Nam Gil was miscast, he didn't really convey and thought process underneath, may have been too much makeup, and the need to make him look a clean cut hero. There although on scene where he looks absolutely lost which is heart breaking.
Kim Won-hae gets to show the range of his acting, usually the dad is just a trope, but I think he gave some grounded reality to the role. I can only give it 8.5 because the script was a bit all over the place, and the end the stuff of melodrama. It could have been a 9.5 for me, but they seemed to be wanting to stay on the side of safe, when when they should have gone full Squid Game.
I do not like 30+plus ep dramas very much, but tis managed to keep me entertained all the way through. The Bridgeton type story construction, where each couple has their own story makes it so it never flags. I liked the fact that the characters are not wholly good or bad , my favourite is the mother, because once you become her chick if she is using a carrot or a stick she is on your side.
I hope the actors come out of this circle of hell alive after this. I thought it started well, interesting ideas and a body swap, acres of space for camp fun with a serious undertone. Ended up a complete mess, what idea there was was lost in scenes that were just there with no effort to add to character development or plot. Who is writing this sh!t. It makes My Stubborn look like a masterpiece. I do not think it was the actors fault, but there is only so many times you can give the same coy or lost expression. My commiserations go to Earth who was sold a pup.
Completed. Originally I was going to junk this because the writing and plot was so feeble, just rambling going now where fast and completely illogical, I know its drama but there should be some semblance of reality. The last four episodes seemed like they were written by a completely different person, its like about ep 18 some one came back off holiday and said lets sort this sh!t out. I think you could just watch the first 3ish eps and the last 6 eps and ir would still make sense. My score is because it was made competently at the end.
"He still comes over to the house often." "“We’re no longer a couple, but we’re still a family,”…
In marriage you have different expectations, nearly everything you do is a negotiation and often ends up as a compromise. You change over the years and perhaps that gets harder. Good luck to both of them.
These sorts of drama are very popular, a bit of humour and a mystery, there are whole channels made up of repeats of this type of drama, because an ageing population likes them. There are literally more of us than the young with money to spend, so advertisers love them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder,_She_Wrote You have so much to look forward to.
The one thing that this confirms is that Pond is perhaps a better actor than most of the people around him. Again, all very pretty, like a photo shoot, but the writing and plot let it down. Full of tropes and lack of character development. If you are going to have an malevolent force that drives a story I think its better that it isn't someone who is portrayed as a spoilt teenager.Needed a better script for the budget.
The ending I just found a bit cringe. Best part of this the OST Its like a very beautiful box with little content, really disappointing, despite all the money spent the script seemed last thing on the list. They lost the most compelling story line that was interesting. The bits that worked well were the parts set in modern dress, the so called royal setting looked like something from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, complete with poorly designed costumes. I think the directer had no idea how to shoot those spaces, there is nothing griping about seeing a man sat on a chair in a large room. I am think no modern royal family or even those that live in palaces and on estates live daily in the state rooms and walk around in dress uniforms. The script and most of the direction, apart from the scenes in modern day dress scenes didn't work.
Great OST, and productions values. I suppose what spoilt for me is I worked out who had done what or likely to do what ever by episode 20, so the intricate plot was wasted on me. I also hated the character played by the ML, completely self absorbed so he did not care how is his actions affected other people. As my mother would say, 'I wouldn't give him house room'. The FL charector wasn't much better, supposed to be smart, but blinkered, so I found her pretty stupid, like a spoilt teenager. I did like how if portrayed the blurred lines between doing the right things and getting mixed up in criminality. Some of it I found really sad.
Good things it had a fairly realistic plot, and it didn't have a lot of the worn out tropes. I liked the main couple because they were not perfect, but in representation of real couple relationships and not romantic slop, it was 9 for me. 2nd couple, all a bit vague, which is the standard wistful romantic slop, but cute, but they seemed like a filler. Good representations of women, a big plus. Nothing really that bad to say,
